That wouldn't be an accurate dollar amount. If Woot sells you something for $100, that doesn't mean you're worth $100 to Woot. Remember, they have to buy the merchandise at wholesale and then sell it to you at retail.

You are worth:
1. The difference between Retail and Wholesale.
2. Less the fixed costs like the price of the warehouse.
3. Plus or Minus the difference in shipping
4. Less the variable costs like packaging and employees to pull the merchandise
5. Less the costs to run the website including the moderators for deals.woot.
6. Less the salary of the CEO, Executives, and all the other support staff.

At the end of the day, we probably all owe Woot a lot of money so I don't want to admit how much that could be as it's probably more than I can afford right now :)

@cengland0:
7. Plus the value from any referrals they get from you buying deals on deals.woot
8. Plus the intrinsic value to Amazon of a large user base that they can occasionally reroute to their main page

@cengland0: You're focusing on calculating the profit for the company, but it is a very common and accepted practice, especially among internet and telco companies that charge for services or subscriptions, to calculate revenue and/or margin per user as a way to determine the value of the user base. The entire value of the user base is then used as an input to the valuation of the company (at which point all the costs that you named become more relevant).

Im worth about .08 cents a day been here since march of 2006 since ive been a college student most of that time makes sense ive only bought about 200 worth of stuff but i do agree that wooters have way more to offer than just dollars and cents woot is a community first and foremost.

Alas, there is a price on the customers ... and the bean counters do take that into consideration when choices and changes are made. For example, take the (new) shirts. They very well knew that by switching over, they'd royally piss off many loyal customers ... but to their own bottom line, it was great because with the price increase and the cheaper blanks (both in quality and price), they're still making more despite selling less. Meanwhile, the artists who suffer because there are much fewer sales.

@thunderthighs: :-D Pondering whether that statement only about you? Or did it extend to what he thinks all members are worth? (@gatzby: That's a rhetorical question - the ironical truth is in there somewhere.)

Counting from my join date I've spent a measly $0.27/day but if I count from when my first purchase was made it takes a huge jump to $0.28/day. Just under $100/year is going to woot.Take out the one $200 purchase (next closest is $50) and it falls by 10 cents a day.
Despite a recent (compared to the average) purchase spree it's hard to overcome 2132 days.

@jsimsace: Agree. Plus, there's the stark reality of how much you've spent. :-| Rather not face that reality. Am currently working on solving that problem. Meaning, I think a long time before I purchase anything. Research for cheaper prices, and make NO impulse buys. Not real difficult lately...not many bargains.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
